Everybody ignores sticky posts. They seem like a good idea, but don't work in practice.

Because you put it small, tiny and not attractive. It has only "always on top" and different bg color for advantages. Force who want to register to read it! Replace that Einstein question with something asking something that should be known after read that.

Unfortunately unfeasible. You end up asking an open ended question, which is hard to verify. Besides that, it is not randomizable and therefore will quickly end up in forums with answers included. This already was the case with the code-snippet that was on the JGO activation page, which slowly but steadily led more and more human spammers in. Since then has been replaced with a randomized version, and we're 'safe' again, for a while.

Last but not least: the number of sticky items is directly proportional to how poorly maintained it is.

Hi, appreciate more people! Σ ♥ = ¾Learn how to award medals... and work your way up the social rankings!

@RivenNo, as the whole earth citizen do. It's just alternative to the sticky. The real job is we provide something to read, and as Sickan said we can complain to them for posting something that had been written.

We programmers love to solve problems exactly once, turning boilerplate code into a library routine that gets called, and get frustrated when we have to repeat ourselves because of some inexpressiveness in the language or whatever. Problem is, new people are always being born, growing up, coming here, learning java (not a total order there) and pretty much everyone learns in one of just a few ways, few of which involve digging in to all the resources at hand before engaging the community. You can build up resources, but like it or not, it's still a process that you'll have to repeat constantly.

Personally, I'd rather have that problem than a dead community or even a large one that had the atmosphere of a reading room. Obviously that isn't to sanction helpless noobs who just want spoonfeeding all the time, but otherwise I think we should take pride in how much we give newbies the benefit of the doubt.
